The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
The New York Times Audio team is building on the success and journalism of “The Daily” to bring more of our audio reporting to our audiences everyday. The Producer will play an important role in “The Headlines,” a daily morning news show for Times subscribers. You’ll be part of an international team of producers and audio editors who use the journalistic rigor and power of The Times’ unique reporting to deliver the top stories through distinct writing and a sound-rich, audio experience.
The Producer must have a keen interest in daily news and be a close listener of The Headlines. A successful candidate has deep experience in writing for audio with an ear for clarity and logical sequencing of ideas. This role requires you to know how to find tape that enriches and advances a story, and you should have considerable experience working within a newsroom setting on tight and ever-changing deadlines. You should be comfortable on mic delivering the news with authority, as you will be expected to guest host the show when needed. Also core to the role is producing tapings with reporters that can quickly extract their expertise and analysis of the news. And finally, the Producer must have significant technical expertise because you’ll pull all the elements together in Pro Tools and deliver clean drafts.
This is an in-office position based in London, and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance. The role will report directly to the show’s Supervising Producer.
